Hi David,

In Canada, Who did you go through for this? It's been a while since I have had to go through this process so I'm not sure if the dealer has changed. The last time I called (I forget the specific one) I had to leave 4 messages, so I hope I can go direct through FS. Thanks

It said I have 4 activations. OH, yes, living in Canada if I can provide my CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) #, it makes the purchase tax exempt. Which means no taxes, either 12 or 6% on the $165. -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Don H Sent: November 16, 2020 3:00 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Jaws SMA So I notice when checking out for the SMA there is a place to enter a discount code. Are there any such codes available?
